Fix Aufs2 dependencies problem in ArchBang

Courage

Aufs2 needs a specific kernel and may give us an error when trying to update ArchBang

The solution is to uninstall Aufs2:

pacman -Rcs aufs

Many people use -Rd to remove programs and packages, but -Rcs removes everything, the package and the dependencies so I recommend using this one.

No more no less.

Aufs2 is a package that LiveCDs use to merge directories, removing it does not affect the functioning of the system at all and what is for LiveCDs

    I think there is a typo in this entry, Pacman's Remove (-R) operation has no 'd' option, so I assume you mean the 's' option.

    I would also like to say that you have to be extremely careful when using the option 'c' (cascade) because it removes the installed packages regardless of whether they are used by some other package, that is why it is recommended to use the option 's' ( recursive) which removes packages only in case they are not used by any third party.

    Finally, I think there is no point in using the 's' and 'c' options since the packages indicated by the 's' option are already contained in the 'c' option

      I mean:

      pacman -Rd

      Which is the one that does not eliminate dependencies, the pacman -Rsn

        Now, you mean nodeps, you still have to be careful because this option makes it ignore the dependency check, so you can remove a package that is used by a third party.

        I keep the classic 'Rs'
